The Health Center is located on the first floor of the east wing and is well equipped to take care of diagnosis and- limited treatment cases. Every new student must file a certificate of health and physical fitness from a qualified physician as part of his application for admission since the col- lege believes that the development and training of the mind and good health standards go hand in hand. There is co-operation between the Health Cen- ter and the Physical Education Department which makes it possible to correct many physical defects by proper exercise and to prevent possible ill effects of too strenuous exercise.
